Challenge of the Week for extra credit
**Please note: this is the only 'extra credit' I offer.**
It is important for you to keep up with the material. Your routine should
be: take notes in class, study notes and complete homework in a quiet place
at home, ask questions and make corrections the following day in class. If
you find you are having a difficult time, it is your responsibility to let
me know. I will be glad to set up a time for additional instruction.
You or your parents may email me (mbrady@spartanburg4.org) or call (476-7045
